Uruguay vs South Korea Preview & Prediction

Uruguay typically perform well in major tournaments and were impressive in the 2018 World Cup, losing just one match, which came against the eventual winners of the tournament. They have only played South Korea in the World Cup once prior to this match, which resulted in a 2-1 victory in 2010.

In fact, Uruguay have won seven of their previous eight World Cup group stage matches and that is lead by harnessing an underdog mentality, in terms of European competition. They also have a strong record against the Asian side, winning five of the previous six meetings.

Meanwhile, South Korea were impressive in the third round qualifying matches, conceding just three goals from their 10 matches. They typically like to play possession based football and take great pride on their technical abilities, with the majority of the starting 11 spread across the major European leagues.

Of course, Son Heung-Min is their star player and the most likely to create meaningful chances going forward. He scored two of his nations three goals in the 2018 World Cup, and despite beating Germany 2-0, they still didn’t manage to progress into the knockout stages.

VERDICT:

This is an exciting and crucial matchup for both sides in the group of death. Uruguay enter as favourites and with their attacking quality, it’s clear to see why. (Best BTTS – NO odds @ $1.61 with bet365.)
